Arsenal’s rebuilding took an unexpected and unwelcome turn last night when it appeared that they had lost Mathieu Flamini to AC Milan. Adriano Galliani, the Milan chief executive, said: “If Mathieu passes a medical tomorrow [Monday], he will be a Milan player. Players want to come here.” Flamini was in the city last night for talks.
Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager, had given the midfield player, whose contract expires at the end of this season, a final take-it-or-leave-it offer, believed to be in the region of £40,000 a week. His deadline for a decision was today. After the 1-0 win over Everton yesterday, Wenger appeared to be fearing the worst. “The offer is on the table,” he said. “I’m not worried, but I’m not super-confident.”
Flamini did not play in the match because of injury. Milan resurrected their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season by winning their city derby 2-1 against Inter Milan yesterday.
